I also saw stuff like that. Usually pulling and putting back the card helps. I have a b44 card which doesn't work in a PCI extender, because of some signal sensing being too low. The additional 10cm of wire added by the extender will make it fail then. This also depends on the motherboard's signal strength. -- Greetings Michael. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
